Aged Care Reform update: Monthly update on all matters Aged Care

The new Aged Care Act and associated reforms officially commenced on 1 November. While go-live has passed, we know the reality for home care providers is that guidance continues to evolve, new resources are being released, and questions are emerging as providers embed the reforms into day-to-day practice. For CHSP providers, this period is also about staying informed and getting ready for the future transition to Support at Home.

Keeping up with these ongoing changes takes time - time most leaders simply don’t have.

To support you through implementation, Enkindle Consulting delivers a concise, 60-minute monthly reform update designed specifically for busy home care leaders.

Each session provides a clear, practical overview of:

• What has been released or announced in the last month
• What it means in practice for providers
• Where clarification is emerging and where it’s still needed
• Key risks, watch-outs and what to prepare for next.

The aim is simple:

You walk away knowing you are fully up to date and confident you haven’t missed anything important.

The session also includes time for questions and discussion, providing a trusted forum to sense-check interpretations, raise implementation challenges and seek clarification.

What we’ll cover each month

Each monthly update will unpack:

• Latest government announcements, guidance and resources.
• Clarifications issued post go-live.
• Updates to timeframes, priorities or expectations.
• Emerging implementation issues and common provider questions.
• CHSP updates on transition to Support at Home.
• What’s coming next and what to prepare for.

Content is refreshed every month to reflect what has actually changed or been released, rather than repeating baseline reform information.

Who should attend?

This 60-minute webinar (including Q&A and a summary slide deck) is designed for:

• Support at Home providers implement the new program and Aged Care Act.
• CHSP providers implementing the new Aged Care Act and preparing for their future transition to Support at Home.
• Executives, Boards, and leaders responsible for quality, governance, operations and reform implementation across aged care.

If you’re responsible for implementing, overseeing or governing the reforms, this session is for you.
